Clara Rae is two months old now. For some reason she seems older to me; more about three months old. I'm not sure if it's because she's quite a bit bigger than Brynn was at this same age or what it is.
Clara had her check-up this past Monday and had her shots which was terrible for mom. She is still very healthy and doing really well. She weighs 10 lbs which puts her in the 22nd percentile and tenth percentile in height.
She is really starting to coo and talk to us now which is so fun. And she smiles more all the time.
In the below photo you can see her cheeks and onto her shoulder there look reddish and bumpy. It does seem to ebb and flow throughout the day, so I wasn't sure if it was baby acne and/or if her skin was getting irritated. She spits up often, especially when she's sleeping/lying down. If I don't notice it right away to move her out of the wet spot she's created, then she just lays in it, and I thought perhaps that would irritate her skin like that.
Up until the past couple of nights, she has still been waking up once during the night. She eats and then goes right back to sleep. I am hoping the past couple of nights now aren't a fluke, but rather us on our way to a full night's sleep again!
Clara will be baptized at the end of this month and will wear the gown Brynn wore (and I had also worn it when I was baptized). Brynn is very excited for the baptism and is always asking me about it. She is most excited to be up front with us during the service. Clara sure fills out the gown a lot better than Brynn did. :-)

| He he. I just thought her expression in this one was funny. |
